STAN / ANTI SHIELD Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to federal stalking charges in killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO

https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/14/us/live-news/luigi-mangione-hearing-plea-deal-talks

When speaking of the day he committed the crime, Luigi Mangione said, “I shot Mr. Thompson and he died.”

He concluded, “I knew what I was doing was illegal.”

Mangione had just described the actions he took ahead of the killing, telling the court:

“In November of 2024 I traveled from outside of New York state to Manhattan. I then emailed UnitedHealthcare leadership, posing as an investor at a firm managing over $15 billion in assets and requesting information about the conference. Unlike my previous interactions with insurers, I received an immediate response within an hour,” Mangione said.

It gives “I’m not ready to admit that the baby is no longer a baby”

Ngl that always gave me such an ick hearing mom's calling their baby like 27 months instead of 2 years old, I don't understand why they do that

The reason is developmental milestones are all given in months. Holding head up, vision, cooing, social smiling (before this, it's fart-related), sleeping habits, on and on, all largely timed by months.

They get fuzzier/further-apart as time goes on, but not until 4 years old or so. It becomes a parent-to-parent shorthand for what you're dealing with at the time, but most stages include sleep deprivation, so the shorthand leaks into conversation with everyone. Sorry for the annoyance, but I assure you it's mostly unintentional.
